IE11 issues

Question

After Microsoft automatically downloads IE11 our school teachers can not longer open gradbooks, watch flash videos, and exchange reverts to light version and will not change back. Is there a fix yet for any of these besides removing the update of
IE11, which is what I have been doing.

Have you tried using the Developer Tools Emulation tab (F12, Ctrl-8) to find a compatibility view which works? Unfortunately, if you find one which is better than IE7 you will not be able to let it persist without reusing the DT to set it. However,
if IE7 is good enough you can add the site to the Compatibility View Settings (Alt-T b). Make sure that you are using Microsoft's Compatibility list in case the emulation you need is already being listed in IECompatData.xml. If not,
you could try reporting the problem here:

Then you would be starting a race between the site developer and Microsoft to see who would respond more quickly to your needs, the site developer to work to web standards (or provide an automatic emulation override) or Microsoft to add the site to its list
of sites that still require an emulation override.

IE 11 won't open OWA from Exchange 2007 or practically any school specific apps we use. So it's Microsoft pushing out incompatible browser updates to web users. I could see it being the other way around for v10 release, but not here. It's infuriating and
embarrassing to champion these technologies only to get slapped like this. It is simply incomprehensible that it doesn't support OWA out of the chute.
